Bobcats stand up for at-risk youth MILTON, Ga. – The Bobcats of Birmingham Falls Elementary School (BFES) recently stood up for at-risk youth in the community by donating meals to Stand Up for Kids’ North Fulton Initiative (SUFK-NFI). Stand Up for Kids is an orga-
nization that provides mentoring and support to homeless students and other students in need at local area high schools. The meals, along with notes of encouragement written by the Bobcats, were collected during the school’s annual Fall Festi-
val. Stand Up for Kids – North Fulton will use the donations to further its mission of helping at-risk students stay in high school and receive their diploma. —Shubhi Tangri

MILTON, Ga. – In celebration of Computer Science Education Week Dec. 9 to Dec. 15, 2013, students in the TAG (Talented and Gifted) program at Crabapple Crossing Elementary School participated in an “Hour of Code” campaign. The founders of Facebook, Apple and Microsoft, along with the president and many other celebrities are featured in videos supporting this campaign to get 10 million students to try one hour of computer science coding.
“Hour of Code” was initiated at Crabapple Crossing by Betsy Geurin, TAG department chair. The school also made sure that all students were exposed to the various coding jobs available and engaged students in learning the basics of computer science by having them help write code for 20 puzzles.
